Several biathletes competed in the Victorian Rollerski Championships at Lake Mountain yesterday, with participants maintaining their sense of humour, despite the wet conditions. Race results below, winners were Nick Montgomery (Men) and Casey Wright (Women), both members of the Australian Cross Country Ski Team. A laser biathlon demonstration was held afterwards, with several of the race participants having a go for the first time, including several members of the Victorian Cross Country Ski Squad – and their parents 🙂 The day was arranged by Australia’s first-ever biathlete, Andrew Paul, who manages events at Lake Mountain. Participating also was his wife and fellow Olympian Sandra Paul.
